Toms, orchard this year; thaj ,about two thousand bushels of them were Ben' Davis and that' these 1 sold -,as - readily as the Virginia Beauty be : cause the latter were specked. There t. were some ' seven hundred bushels of hese latter apples which are far so perior 'in quality than the Ben-Davis, .

Dear Brethren: I fear that tiie purpose of the re inforcement campaign has not been The object of the campaign is first to collect unpaid subscriptions that are due on the seventy-five million fund at this time, second to give new members of the churches who have been received by the churches within the last three years and those who did not subscribe three years ago the opportunity of subscribing, at this time for the remaining two years, and . third to give the churches that did not subscribe three years ago the opportunity of making a subscription now and thus becoming helpers in the great program of Southern Bap tists for the honor of Christ and the uplift of humanity, ft is not the purpose of this cam paign to increase the obligations on the churches, some of whom feel that they are under a burden but the. ob ject is to relieve them. -Many of those-who subscribed when the cam- paign was launched have died or have removed by some other means and their' subscription has been lost. Within the, last ' three years a half million ew members have been, re ceived into the 'churches.
